In our exclusive Sean Pertwee Gotham interview we got to chat with Sean about life at Wayne Manor as protector and butler to the most eligible young bachelor in Gotham, Bruce Wayne. Some of the other fascinating points we got to discuss in the interview included:

A tease of what’s to come in the second half of season one of Gotham including some exciting developments for Sean’s character Alfred in Episode 17.

The process of filming episodes with David Mazouz at Wayne Manor

Alfred’s experience in the wider city of Gotham and working with the wider cast including Donal Logue, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Drew Powell.

His experience as a young actor on the set of cult space horror film “Event Horizon”

How Sean uses his bodyguard training from a previous role to inform his “kick-arse” Alfred

His excitement to see another Alfred in Batman V Superman : Dawn of Justice

Of course we also asked about his favourite type of tea and finally get an answer to the question plaguing everyone’s mind since Episode 2 of Gotham “When exactly is tea-time?”

We also posed some of our listeners questions to him about his approach to playing the character of Alfred, Doctor Who and the influence of his father John Pertwee on his career.

It was an absolute pleasure getting another chance to catch up with our favourite ex-military butler and genuinely one of our favourite British actors Sean Pertwee.

[…] Sean Pertwee described this episode to us as “Alfred’s past arriving at the door of Wayne Manor“. We discuss these new revelations about Alfred’s past and about what both Alfred and Reggie (David O’Hara) are capable of as former war veterans. Little did we know that this episode also included what John describes as the scene of the series (…and it’s not the one you are thinking of!). We also chat about the introduction of the Red Hood and the Mythos surrounding the Gotham Red Hood which seems to instill a confidence in it’s wearer to lead, crack jokes and give money away. Then there is that eye popping moment with Fish Mooney that really hits an (optical) nerve plus we find out about the owner of facility where Fish is held – Doctor Dulmacher. This was a great episode and your can hear us discuss the stand out points of Episode 17 in full glorious detail. […]
